The Pride of Detroit: Channel Surfing for the Lions' Roar (Because Let's Face It, They Won't Be Roaring in the Playoffs This Time)
Ah, the Detroit Lions. A team so lovable, they could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and we'd still come back for more. But hey, at least they keep things interesting! The good news? Football season isn't here yet (cue the sad trombone), so you don't have to worry about frantically searching for the right channel tonight. The bad news? You'll have to wait a while to see those Honolulu Blue jerseys in action.
However, if you're craving a Lions fix, fear not! Here's a handy dandy guide to pre-season prep:
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Channel Champions: Where to Find the Lions When They Are Playing
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
The Lions call a few channels home, depending on the day of the week:
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
- Sunday Funday: Catch the Lions on either FOX or CBS. Local channels are your best bet here, but double-check your listings to be sure.
- Monday Night Magic (Maybe): If the Lions are lucky enough to snag a coveted Monday Night Football slot, you'll find them on ESPN.
- Primetime Prowl (Even Rarer): Thursday Night Football? That's on Amazon Prime Video. Lions on TNF? Less likely than finding a decent cup of coffee at Ford Field (just kidding... mostly).
Bonus Round: Streaming the Glory (or the Inevitable Heartbreak)
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
For those who've cut the cord, there are still ways to cheer on the Lions:
- Subscription Services: Platforms like fuboTV or YouTube TV offer live TV streaming packages that often include the channels mentioned above.
- NFL Game Pass (with limitations): This streaming option lets you watch out-of-market games, but blackout restrictions may apply. Check the fine print before you sign up.
